Stark Industries

Sofia Morel, une jeune mère célibataire, élève seule ses jumeaux, Noah et Liam, après avoir traversé un passé difficile. Pour sauver sa mère malade, elle a dû faire un choix déchirant : vendre son corps pour obtenir l’argent du traitement. Cette nuit a changé son destin à jamais, car elle est tombée enceinte sans jamais connaître l’identité du père de ses enfants. Aujourd’hui, elle mène une vie simple mais digne, cachant son passé et protégeant ses fils du poids de ses erreurs. Pendant ce temps, dans un monde de pouvoir et de luxe, Adrian Lancaster, héritier du puissant empire familial, vit dans l’excès et l’insouciance. Séducteur invétéré, il jongle entre affaires et plaisirs sans se douter qu’un secret pourrait bouleverser sa vie. À la tête de Lancaster Industries aux côtés de son frère Elias, il est redouté dans le monde des affaires, mais incapable de construire une véritable relation. Le destin les ramène sur le même chemin lorsque les jumeaux commencent à poser des questions sur leur père. Sofia, terrifiée à l’idée que la vérité éclate, tente de maintenir son équilibre, mais les fils du passé se resserrent autour d’elle. Quand Adrian découvre qu’il a des enfants dont il ignorait l’existence, il est prêt à tout pour reprendre sa place dans leur vie. Mais peut-on réparer les erreurs du passé quand tout a commencé par un mensonge ? Entre secrets, regrets et confrontations, Sofia et Adrian devront faire face à la vérité… et choisir entre la vengeance, le pardon ou un amour qu’ils n’ont jamais osé espérer.

When my best friend and I realized we had been reborn and traveled back several decades, we locked eyes, collapsed into each other's arms, and sobbed, shouting that we wanted to break off our engagements. The entire neighborhood whispered that we had lost our minds. But only we knew the truth. In our past lives, this was the day everything was sealed: she married a battalion commander, Ned Stark, and I became the wife of a high school teacher, Robbie Stark. My husband betrayed me. For the sake of that pretentious whore, Scarlett Wheaton, he stole my university admission letter and let her take my place on campus. The world mocked me as a failure, and Robbie stood by in silence. After we married, every time he touched me, he would immediately write another love letter to Scarlett—atoning for his supposed guilt. "Scarlett, even if I can't be with you in this life, my soul will always belong to you alone." Even my own child despised me, calling me an ignorant village woman, urging me again and again to divorce so that his father could be with his "true love," Scarlett. And my best friend, Rachel Croft—born the daughter of a factory director—was tricked by her husband, Ned, under the pretense of buying a house. He drained her savings and her wages for twenty long years. It wasn't until she fell gravely ill and went to sell the house that she discovered the deed he had given her was a forgery. The real house—the one paid in full—was in Scarlett's name. One of Scarlett's dresses cost more than my friend's entire monthly salary. When Rachel begged to reclaim what rightfully belonged to her, she was met only with contempt from Ned and her child. "All you ever care about is money. You're nothing like Scarlett, who isn't materialistic at all. Your illness is retribution," Ned had said. "Exactly. Only someone as noble and kind as Scarlett deserves to be my mother!" her child had said. Rachel and I both spent our lives working ourselves to the bone, only to end with nothing—dying bitter and broken from the injustice. But this time, fate has given us another chance. I will go to university. Rachel will become a wealthy woman. This time, without us paving the way, those shameless men and that wretched woman think they can still live happily ever after? Dream on.
